Students hoping for help

Ukiah High School Students need your help. Our school is sending 77 juniors and seniors to Southern California to attend the Disney Youth Education series Physics: Waves and Motion class. In addition, students will also be visiting The Getty Center.

The Disney Youth Education Series (Y.E.S.) is a program designed to engage, inspire, educate and illuminate students which results in lifelong inspiration and a learning experience beyond students' wildest dreams. This program is facilitated by trained and knowledgeable Disney Y.E.S cast members. It is a high-quality and educationally sound program that challenges students, yet remembers that fun is a vital part of learning.

It is our goal for students to step out of their comfort zones to learn what it takes to be a great leader. They will then be able to bring back their leadership skills and apply them at home, at school, and in the community.

Last year's trip was a huge success. We took 87 student from all ethnic and economic backgrounds. They were able to participate due to the low cost of the trip and the fundraising efforts of the group. In addition to group fundraising, private donations from the community are vital parts of making this trip a reality for students. Each student is responsible for raising $300 for the cost of their hotel, bus, and tickets. Without the communities help, many of the students would not be able to attend.

We are asking that you please help our group by letting the community know about our trip. We are lucky to live in such a wonderful community and appreciate the help they are willing to give. We are currently trying to raise $1,200 to help pay for food on the trip and for our hotel. Thank you for your support. If you have any questions please call Ashleigh Hoyt at 707-472-5843.
